Usage

Syntax

'Declaration
Property Depend As String

property String^ Depend {
    String^ get ();
    void set (String^ value);
}

/** @property */
String get_Depend ()

function set Depend (value : String)

Property Value

A comma-separated list of task names.

Remarks

Typically, you use dependencies to break a large task into smaller subtasks. For example, if task A needs to finish before task B, which needs to finish before task C, then task B depends on A and task C depends on B. Task B will not run until A finishes, fails, or is canceled.

The method checks for circular dependencies.

The dependency is ignored if the task is specified in a command (see ICluster.ExecuteCommand).
